Now there’s a choice that’s healthy, delicious and easy – Fawen Ready-to-Drink Soups. Fawen is a small company that’s all about being kind […]

Often when people take meat out of their diet, they replace it with beans. If you’ve ever eaten veggie burgers or vegan meatloaf, it was probably made with some type of bean or legume. But not everyone can eat beans or just don’t like the taste of them. Well, there’s a product those people will […]

Everyone is talking about EatPastry cookie dough. It comes in 7 different flavors that you can bake into goodies or eat raw. Unfortunately, I can only live vicariously because no one sells it where I live. Everyone is not so fortunate to live near a Whole Foods supermarket. The company did send me their gluten-free […]

The “V” Word did a product review back in September to tell you all about Vega and their products. Plus, I posted the very first smoothie recipe in the history of The “V” Word – a Pumpkin Pie Smoothie. Well, I’m writing about Vega again because there is a brand New Vega One. Vega listened […]

Reason #693,984,224,877,113,989,303,485 Why I Miss NYC: the summer menu at Blossom on Carmine. As if I needed another reason to miss the city, it’s time for all the wonderful vegan restaurants to unveil their summer menus highlighting the beautiful bounty of seasonal fruits and vegetables. Blossom on Carmine sent me an e-mail asking me to […]

When I received my cans of Meatless Select Fishless Tuna from Atlantic Natural Foods, I have to admit I hesitated. Fishless tuna? It seemed strange to me and I’m not quite sure why. After all, I eat and love vegan versions of chicken, beef, sausage, and other fishy-type foods like vegan shrimp and calamari. When […]

Oh, do I love Bee Free Honee! And I find it funny because I was never a fan of honey. When I was sick as a child, my mother would put it in my tea but other than that, I didn’t really like it. So when I became vegan, the fact that honey was […]

“Easy as pie.” I’ve always had issues with this saying. Tom uses it a lot and it’s become a sort of bit between us. He says something is as “easy as pie” and I reply, “Pie is not easy!” Because to me, baking is not easy. While I am not as baking-challenged as I […]

One of my favorite things about the colder seasons is making and eating lots of soup. Nothing warms you up better, inside and out, than holding a steaming bowl in your hands and spooning delicious, savory soup into your mouth. It’s warm, cozy and comforting. With Thanksgiving coming up, my cooking turns to all […]

“It is much easier to show compassion to animals. They are never wicked.” – Haile Selassie I miss a lot of things since moving upstate especially all the different types of food I used to be able to eat. Of all the cuisines I miss, the one I miss the most? Ital food! Not […]

Remember when you were a kid, how fun it was to get mail? It always meant something good – a letter from a friend at camp or a present from Grandma. As you got older, mail got a lot less fun – bills, advertisements, bills, junk, bills. Well, now the mail can be fun […]

Being a native New Yorker, when I hear Brooklyn, I think of the Bridge, Prospect Park and the many Vegan eateries in the borough across the river from Manhattan. However, lately I’ve been learning about a very special place in a different Brooklyn: Paint Creek Animal Rescue located in Brooklyn, Michigan. Paint Creek Animal Rescue […]

Quotes

"Animals are not asked for their permission to take their own bodies' products, their freedom or their lives. We teach our children not to ever take something that doesn't belong to them without asking first. Such a simple rule filled with so much respect and acknowledgement of the other. That is Veganism."

Rhea Parsons

"All beings tremble before violence. All fear death. All love life. See yourself in others. Then whom can you hurt?"

Buddha

"Poor animals! How jealously they guard their pathetic bodies...that which to us is merely an evening's meal, but to them is life itself."

T. Casey Brennan

"Vegans can no longer be silent in this most important justice change...anymore than we could have (remained silent)...by just not owning slaves during Antebellum slavery and saying slavery was a choice. Some things are so wrong they can not be tolerated. Time is short and creating a vegan world has become crucial to saving it from possible destruction. It has become everybody's business what we eat."

Shirley Wilkes-Johnson

"Any food from animals is accompanied by the fear, brutality and disrespect that accompanied their lives and deaths"

Gabriel Cousens
